I was driving from Ålen and had come up to Hessdalskjølen when I saw a light on the other side of the valley, towards
Vårhuskjølen. At first I thought it was a snowmobile standing there with its light on, but then I thought it must be a
light from a cabin on Finnsådalen. I have since been told that there had been no snowmobiles there that night, nor any
people on any of the cabins. (And by the way, we don't see any of these from Hessdalskjølen either).
I hadn't heard anything about UFOs at the time, so I didn't think much about what I saw.
But the light was there anyway and looked like a light from a light bulb. I don't know how long it was there.

Date: 20.12.1981 Time: between 04:00 pm and 05:00 pm Place: Vondgrovsveien, Nesvollen (between Ålen and Røros)
Observers: Nils Kåre Nesvold and Per Holden.
Nils Kåre Nesvold writes:
"I worked as a freelance journalist from Ålen for NRK, newspapers and magazines, and spent a lot of time in the car.
Once (December 20, 1981) I drove up Vondgrovsveien in my almost self-luminous bright green 66 model
Ford Cortina. Just before the level crossing at Nesvollen I saw a light in the sky towards Ratvollfjellet.
I stop the car. It looks like a helicopter. I turn off the engine and get out. It's not a helicopter.
I don't hear a sound. It looks like an oval moon that shines like a light bulb - below the the ridge of the mountain.
This was before mobile phones became common. We were a few friends who used walkie-talkies. I called my good friend
Per Holden, got in touch, jumped into the car and drove at breakneck speed for a couple of kilometres with him as a witness.
At first he didn't believe me, but changed his mind when we passed the Nesvoll crossing again and he saw the same thing as me.
We drove at full speed south towards Rugldalen, stopped and got out of the car. Then the light suddenly disappeared.
It wasn't a plane, it wasn't a satellite.
There were no roads in the area and no lights from cars. It was a light phenomenon. People called it
UFO - unidentified flying objects."

A large, illuminated helicopter-shaped object came from the northwest over øvre Ålen at 19:20
at an altitude of about 200 meters. It stopped for about half a minute, changed direction to the southwest about, 200 meters, stopped, disappeared towards
Killingdal mines at a very high speed. It was cloudy.

Observers: Olaf Hansen
The object was low in the terrain, at the same level as the mountain on the other side of the valley where we live.
There could not have been any lights from a train or car, as there was no traffic at that time.
We followed it with our eyes the whole time, and saw it swerve down the valley over Støren station,
where it disappeared behind a mountain, which blocked our view.
The object was wider in front, and narrower in the back.
White and blue light.

Date: xx.01.1981 (Thursday) Time: 11:00 pm Place: Trøen, Ålen
Observers: George Trøen, his sister and one more.
This observation was made twice, one week apart. It was exactly the same path each time.
It was a light that passed slowly across, following the ridge. It suddenly disappeared. It was seen
in the direction of the west, and it disappeared when it was in the northwest. It was about the size of a star.
It was seen for 10 minutes, from 11:00 PM to 11:10 PM.
